Toronto at New York

Toronto pulled the upset in the opener, 3-2, in 10 innings, though the offense had just 8 hits, two walks, 13 strikeouts. The Blue Jays are 21-44 as a road underdog and send Ross Stripling to the mound. He went 0-2 with Toronto last season with a 6.32 ERA after a trade from the Dodgers. You can't walk batters in a small park like Yankee Stadium and Stripling walked 18 in 49 innings in 2020. He was worse away from home with a 6.38 ERA allowing 10 free passes in 18 innings with 18 hits. New York has a deep bullpen and a powerful offensive lineup. With the Yankees on a 58-27 run at home versus Toronto in this stadium, back the home team. Play New York.
